Let’s get it back to the Eagles with breaking news from the Inside the Birds podcast crew:
Sources tell me and @caplannfl: #Eagles are placing WRs J.J. Arecega-Whiteside, John Hightower, and Deontay Burnett on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Whiteside tested positive and the others were identified as close contacts.

Don’t do it. Don’t you dare do it. Do not make the “J.J. Arcega-Whiteside finally caught something” joke. We’re better than that.
Hopefully, on a serious note, this is contained to the three guys listed. JJAW and Hightower have barely seen the field since the Birds started to get more healthy in the receiver department. Burnett has been out of the picture for a while now.
The Eagles confirmed the case but didn’t specify who the positive test is:

Marcus Epps just came off the list and has been back at practice.
We’ll continue to monitor.
